Title: SoCalJetBoats.com T-Shirt Design Contest
Post by: Brad @ SCJB on February 05, 2014, 10:22:26 AM
I am working on a new merchandize line for the 2014 season. I have everything lined up, but I just don't have a design for the Mens T-Shirts.  I have kind of hit a creative wall and I figured why not let the people of SCJB design it.

Here's the deal.

- The shirts will be silk screened. The less colors (Avg 3) the better
- The design will be going on a WHITE shirt, so design accordingly
- No copywritten images or slogans
- No nudity or profanity.

What do you get out of it?

+ $100
+ 1 year SCJB Plus Membership ($50 value)
+ 2 free shirts with your design on it

The judge panel will be your peers on the site with myself giving the final approval.

Post your submissions on this thread or email them to me at brad@socaljetboats.com

That sounds awesome and I'm excited to see what people cook up.

Brad, do you think you will do another run of the pinstripe design again? I missed out on a shirt the first round and every time I open the app on my phone it reminds me! Hahaha

At this time, no. I plan on rotating the designs. Most of everyone has the pinstripe shirts, they wouldnt sell very well if I just kept making the same shirt.

Post by: GoinBrokeBahner on February 06, 2014, 09:02:14 AM
Here's what I'm thinking....

Front: SoCalJetBoats.com
(Centered across the chest)

Back: Skull logo, small and centered just below collar with the text being centered in upper back just below skull.

Right Sleeve: SCJB
(Capital initials only)


All logos and text in dark grey with red outline to keep from having an all black and white T.

If the front is too boring try this and keep the text font the same on the back but not on the initials on the right sleeve....

I'd rock this shirt!

One more idea... Somewhere along the line I've seen a float in the videos that has large SCJB Skull Logos on each side of the fiberglass scoop. I think a side shot of that motor would look bad ass on the back of a shirt and already incorporates site logo. Not sure how you'd do colors, I know you want to keep it to a minimum.

white shirts all the way, keep cool it the heat!
front of shirt, have just the "socaljetboats" in same font and color over left chest
pics of rear of shirt.

first design... classic SCJB "when one boat isn't enough"
second design...interpret how you'd like, but whenever i'm on my iphone my wife asks "whatcha looking at.... socaljetboats" because i always ask her "whats she looking at" when she's on facebook  >:D

Maybe I am asking for too much here, but I was hoping you guys had your ideas created in a vector format ready for me to send off to the printers.....not just a "you should make a shirt that says/has..."

Dont get me wrong. I love the creative input and stuff thats been suggested, but I'd like to see some follow through with these ideas.

I like the design . But I would focus more on the " jet boat " and not the swirls. Like take them out of the boat and leave um a smidgen on the outside so it looks like the boat is making the swirls. 
nice work....

I'm in the limited creative dept when it comes to putting pen to paper but I think I've got a design everyone will appreciate...

The SoCalJetBoats Tour 2014.  Picture of the river from Laughlin to Yuma with little Fireball logos at each place we hit on the tour.  Do a list of all the places we make an appearance (Back Bay, Lazy Harry's, AVI, BlueWater, Big River....) and the month we hit 'em.  If we do the same place repeatedly list it repeatedly just like you would see on an concert tour shirt.

Make it in a basic 3/4 color and offer it in both white or black.  Or offer one color first then offer the other color 6 weeks later.

And, If I make some calls, I'm sure I could get approval from Hallett Dave  ;D

EDIT:   And if the Fireball logo is a problem you could use the little beer mug emoticon or a little jet boat to mark the locations.

...ya gotta remember this is going to be a silk screened shirt. It needs hard lines. No color fades. Pretty much vector type of logo/design.

If you wanted to screen print a color fade, you can use halftones in your color separations to accomplish the same effect.  When I had my snowboard manufacturing business, just about every graphic appeared to have a color fade and was printed on top/bottom of the snowboards, stickers, clothing, etc.

I have been away from this for some time as well as doing any kind of computer graphics, but I would think that today’s high-powered graphics programs would all have the capability of doing halftones and color separations.

I am looking forward to the new shirts.

Cheers,

Joe[attachimg=1]

I really like this idea Keith. I'll see if I can bring it to life. Maybe as a 2nd shirt but only sold at the events. Only small problem is that I never know the Gord trip date until he calls an end to his Canadian farming schedule lol
